Inspiration "Rains" for 2010 Portfolio Awards | |||||
Article posted September 13, 2010 | |||||
On April 27th, 2010, SPSU’s Technical Communication Advisory Board (TCAB) hosted a reception for upcoming and recent graduates of English, Technical Communication and Media Arts (ETC&MA) bachelors’ programs. TCAB members and Portfolio course professors Dr. Kim Haimes-Korn and Dr. Herb Smith participated in reception festivities. A special thanks goes out to the TCAB Events Committee members who put together the reception. Equivalent to a Capstone project in other disciplines, ETC&MA seniors completed comprehensive paper-based and digital portfolios. Both portfolio versions are presented and judged during fall and spring Portfolio Open House events. The 2009-20010 academic year marked the first that the program produced enough senior bachelor candidates to justify two open house events. TCAB members, faculty, friends, and proud parents attended the open house nights. The event showcased traditional, hard-copy portfolios and computer workstations with online portfolios. The students demonstrated their expertise in writing, layout, graphic illustration and web design. Students also explained their concept, theme and development methods to attendees, many who work in the technical communication profession.

Though all the portfolios showcased excellent work, the Senior Reception event recognizes finalists whose portfolios reflect the best in creative and technical writing as well as information and graphic design. This year’s Rainey Inspiration Award for outstanding work by an undergraduate student was given to Ruidi Tan. Ruidi is a member of the group of special students from China studying technical writing at SPSU. Ruidi’s award-winning portfolio reflected an innovative mix of graphic and web design, sketching and information design. Ruidi's mother was on hand to see her win this prestigious award. In addition to a certificate award, Ruidi received a $250 prize check. |
